BEFORE YOU BEGIN
FOR YOUR SAFETY
The AC power plug is polarized (one blade is wider than the other) and only fits into AC power outlets one way. If the plug won’t go into the outlet completely, turn the plug over and try to insert it the other way. If it still won’t fit, contact a qualified electrician to change the outlet, or use a different one. Do not attempt to bypass this safety feature.
IMPORTANT BATTERY INFORMATION
•When storing the unit or unplugging it from AC outlet for a day or more, be sure to remove battery because it can leak and damage the unit.
•Batteries may leak electrolyte if inserted incorrectly, if disposed of in fire, or if an attempt is made to charge a battery not intended to be recharged.
•Discard leaky batteries immediately. Leaking batteries can cause skin burns or other personal injury.
•Dispose of batteries, according to federal, state, and local regulations.

When normal household power is interrupted, or AC line cord is unplugged, the battery will power the clock radio to keep track of time and alarm settings programmed into memory. When on battery power, the digital display will not light; however, should WAKE TIME occur during the power interruption, the radio will operate or the alarm will sound if remaining battery power is adequate. Normal operation will resume after AC power is restored so you will not have to reset time or alarm.

POWER FAILURE INDICATOR
When AC power is interrupted (disconnected) for a short period, both time and alarm settings will change (unless optional battery is installed). After AC power is restored (reconnected) the Digital Display will blink to indicate that power was interrupted and you must readjust the TIME and ALARM settings. To stop display from blinking, press and hold the TIME SET or WAKE SET/OFF button together with the HOUR or MINUTE button.
